Variety Panel - Digital Distribution: Fantasy Or Reality?

Variety Panel - Digital Distribution: Fantasy Or Reality?

  • Showing: Saturday, June 16, 10:00 AM
  • Running Time: 60 Minutes
  • Theater: Northwest Film Forum
  • Ticket Code: VDIG1607D

Somewhere over the rainbow is a place where indie filmmakers use the Internet to sell their movies all over the world. They don't have to spend a fortune on prints and theatrical distribution; they sell their movies online directly to their target audience, and pocket a hefty cut of the revenues. That magic moment may not be far off, with the advent of distribution via video download or a DVD sale or rental at the likes of CustomFlix, Amazon Unbox, IndieFlix, Google Video, NetFlix and even, perhaps, iTunes. Everyone wants a piece of this market, it seems, even though many experiments in finding the perfect new distribution paradigm have yet to find it.
This panel of distribution experts will explore the opportunities out there for indie filmmakers--as well as the grim realities. What resources are available? What are the pitfalls? Has anyone found a way to dodge onerous direct-to-DVD deals and make money? Is the Internet a viable marketing tool? We will try to find some answers.
